no way. the 335 is a beast compared to the 328
i have an 07 335 and my free maintenance runs out next week. extended warranty (gold package) is 3500 for 3 more years or total 70k miles. I think i'll take my chances without a warranty
The *35s cars all still have fuel pump problems. Until BMW and Bosch lick that, I wouldn't bother. The 328i is plenty spry - people always want more horses than they'll ever use. I've been considering a 328i coupe for a daily myself.
extended maintenance and extended warranty are 2 different things
the fuel pump is covered for 10 years or 120k miles, so I feel ok about that. and it's not just the horses...it's the torque that makes the 335 so fun to drive
This is one of the few issues I've heard of with a modern BMW that will leave you stranded by the side of the road, and people often seem to wait days or weeks for pump replacements. The fact that they fix it for free doesn't detract from the hassles it will cause you.
If I were shopping for a 3-series, I'd get the 328 because it's significantly lighter than the 335, plenty fast, and cheaper to maintain. Also they don't make the sport wagon in anything but the 328 for the US.
My brother has been talking about getting a new car because he say's his BMW was the worst investment ever. He had it serviced regularly and he would still have issues with the computer costing him a ridicules amount of money every time. He also had a dent the size of a my palm on the passenger side door and the BMW dealership charged him $2,000. I am glad I never fell for the BMW trend.
